“We’re thankful forpeople considering tocontribute in someway tothis worthy cause,” hesaid.

For Allison, 18, who

was 2 when her parentsstarted monitoring herblood sugar, she’s thank-ful for her family’s sup-port.

“My favorite part ofthe entire thing is watch-ing my family come to-gether tomake it happen.It’s a lot of work,” shesaid. “Everyone iswillingto do something. No-body’s stubborn. Every-onehas something to do. Iknowmyfamily isbehindme, and they are willingto go through all of that

for me. They don’t evenknow they’re going tofind a cure, but it’s goodthat we’re working to-gether.”

Greg said it takesabout 25 people, many ofwhom are family mem-bers, to organize theevent.

In addition to the cardgame, the event also in-cludes door prizes, raf-fles, silent auctions andsplit the pot rafflesthroughout the evening.

“It’s a bonding-type

event where we get to-gether to try and help outa good cause. We hopesomeday to make an im-pact,” he said. “Allisonwas 6 when we started.With all the finger pricksand shots and stuff, wejust wanted to feel likeweweredoing somethingto help. It never feels likeenough.”

floors which is vacant.”Although the urban

centers of Covington andNewport contain most ofthe region’s homelesspopulation, Boone Coun-ty leaders were also in-

volved.“While not an active

participant, we were partof the brainstorming tosee how we can work to-gether as a team to ad-dress the issue,” saidMark Ihrig, Boone Coun-ty’s director of emergen-cy management. “Someof our churches out herewere working to assistthe overflow. We werepleased to hear that andotherways our communi-ty can participate.”

“We’re doing every-thing in our power tocome up with a solution,”said Steve Hensley, Ken-ton County’s director ofhomeland security andemergencymanagement.

“All three counties shareconcern for the healthand well-being of thehomeless population.”

Hensley said thoseseeking indoor lodgingshould go to the shelter at634ScottSt. inCovington,where shelter adminis-trators will determine ifan alternate location isneeded. Everyone admit-ted to the shelter must be18 years old or older, pre-sent a Kentucky identifi-cation or driver license,and agree to follow theshelter’s code of conduct.

“It’s going to take awhile to coordinate an-other location,” saidHen-sley. “Until then, we canuse a portion of the old

jail facility, one of thedorm-style areas on thefifth floor, where wewould be able to accom-modate some of the over-flow occupants in orderto get them off the streetand protect them fromthe elements.”

Campbell County Ad-ministrator Robert Ho-rine said he’s working onfinding another suitablelocation.

“The wheels are turn-ing, but I certainly don’thave anything to offer atthis point as a solution,”he said. “It’s a reasonablerequest for us to identifysomeplace in Newportthat might serve as anoverflow location.”

Kaiya Kinley Barrett,regional communicationsofficer for the AmericanRed Cross, emphasizedthe importance of pre-paredness.

“Our job is to help peo-ple prepare, respond andrecover from any type ofdisaster,” she said. “It iscrucial that the homelessor anyone else has awarm place to stay whentemperatures go belowfreezing. I think it is theduty of officials in theTristate to make suretheir citizens are welltakencare of in situationsof severe weather.”

experience for the girls.”Rider said the drive-

thru sale will replacesome of the troop’s small-er booth sales, but thegirls will still participatein traditional booth salesas well.

This is also the firstyear Girl Scouts will beable to accept creditcards, according to Shan-non Natale, leader ofTroop 1984.

Although the troopwillhave to pay a 2.9 percentfee on each transaction,Natalesaid thetroopswhotested accepting creditcards had enough “in-crease in volume to pay

for the fee.”She also said that in

Kentucky, a box of cook-ies costs $3.50, but thepricehasgoneup to$4perbox in Ohio.

The girls and their par-ents are looking forwardto the drive-thru sale.

“We always look for-ward to cookie sales, butthis drive-thru is reallyunique, and I think they’llbe really successful withit,” said Natasha Lippert.

She also said the expe-rience of selling cookieshelped her daughter,Hope, become more so-cial.

“It’s a good experiencefor them, and they get tolearn some really impor-tant skills,” said Lippert.

“I think it’s awesome,”said Kim Usleaman,whose granddaughterPayton is also in the troop.

This year, they’re ableto invite customers to or-der cookies online, butcookie delivery and mon-ey transactions have to bedone in person.

They’ve already start-ed selling cookies, butJan. 24 is the first daycookies will be available.

Using a smartphoneapp, Abby Natale sold 235

boxes of cookies duringher first week of cookiesales this year.

The 8-year-old, whosefavorite cookie is theThinMint, has a goal of selling700 boxes this year.

In addition to earningbadges and learning so-cial skills – and getting toeat cookies – the girls ofTroop 1984 have more tolook forward to.

They’re donating 20percent of their proceedsto community needs.

“Last year, theyboughttoys for Children’s Hospi-tal, and they made cardsto go with the toys,” said

Rider. “They’ve alreadystarted talking about whothey’ll help this year.”

Rider said the troop isalso planning a trip to Sa-vannah, Ga., in the sum-mer of 2015, to visit thehomeofGirl Scouts’ foun-der Juliette Gordon Low.

“They make not onlygoals for this year, butlong-range goals as well,”she said. “Girl Scoutshelps them learn thingsthat will be useful to themas they grow up.”

ALEXANDRIA — TheCampbell County PoliceDepartment is now one of-ficer shy of being fullystaffed.

The department hopesto have 29 officers onceone is hired and on theagenda to be sworn in atthe Wednesday, Feb. 5,Campbell County FiscalCourt meeting, said ChiefKeith Hill.

The department’s hir-ing of officer WilliamMcGohan Jan. 5, after thehiring of Christopher J.Lauer II on Nov. 6, bringsthe department back to 28officers. The departmentdropped to 26 officerswhen a lieutenant retiredand two officers left fortheCampbellCountySher-iff’s office in August, Hillsaid.

“At no time has thecommunity lacked the es-sential functions thatCampbell County need-ed,” he said.

Dealing with a smallerstaff has been the normfor the department sincepayroll tax proceedsdropped and staffing wascut from 31 to 29 full-timeofficers in 2008.

“And that’swhatwearegoing to continue on untilthe economic atmospherechanges,,” Hill said.

Having two fewer offi-cershasmeantpostponingspecial assignments tocombat one type of crime,Hill said. For instance, de-tectives work on trackingdown stolen items when

they can spare time fromother investigations.

“Because of the heroinproblemwe’rehavinga lotof thefts just like every-body has,” Hill said.

There are three offi-cers assigned to workingnarcotics, but thefts areonly part of the issue, hesaid.Thedepartmentcan’tdedicateoneofficer’s timecheck pawnshops and findtaken property.

“We’re doing that stuff,but we’re doing that in ad-dition to other functionswe are doing, Hill said.

And the departmentuses overtime from feder-al grants to send officerson patrol for speeders onthe AA Highway insteadof having a specially as-signed traffic safety unit,Hill said.

“Wecan’t deliverall theservices that we want to,but it does not affect thenecessary services thatare needed to day-to-daykeep the county safe,” he

said.The full-time officer

staffing leveldoesnot,andhas not counted the twoschool resource officerpositions now working oncontracts matching theschool year. Prior to 2008the department paid forthe school resource offi-cers with federal grants.

An increase back to 31full-timeofficers isnotbe-ing considered, saidCampbell County Admin-istrator Robert Horine.

Payroll taxes, the big-gest single source of coun-ty revenue, decreased in2009 and 2010 from the2008 level of $7.81million,Horine said. The payrolltax revenue didn’t re-bound until 2013 when$7.84 million was collect-ed.

Thecostofhiringafull-timeofficer includes a sal-ary of between $38,000 fora rookie to $46,000 forsomeone with experience,he said.

NEWPORT—The new and oldbasketball coach at NewportCentral Catholic High Schoolknowshowtoget theThorough-breds ready for the big games.

In the firstyearofhis secondstint as boys head coach at theschool, Ron Dawn is preparinghis team for a long postseasonrun. Part of that preparation in-volves a more urgent goal forthe team: The state champion-ship of the All “A” Classic tour-ney.

“Hopefully we’ll be able toget down there and that canhelp us,” Dawn said. “We hopeto get better every day.”

NCC has an 11-3 recordthrough Jan. 13, with the threelosses coming to Louisvillepowers Ballard and PleasureRidge Park, and Lexington La-

fayette.All thosegamescameatholi-

day tournaments in LouisvilleandLexington.NCCbeat sever-al quality teams in those tour-neys, including defending 14thRegion championKnott CountyCentral, and PRP in a rematchin Lexington.

“We’ve played a pretty goodschedule,” Dawn said. “We’regetting better and we’re tryingdifferent things.”

Dawn said there was a com-mon thread between the threedefeats that showed the Thor-oughbreds what they need todo.

“Thosewere thingswefoundout, some things we have towork on,” Dawn said. “We haveto work on getting better on thepress. Those teams press youfrom start to finish. We learn alot fromplaying in a toughenvi-ronment with big crowds.”

NCC is 6-0 against Ninth Re-gion teams so far this year, win-ning by an average of 38 points.That includes a 40-point rout ofa 12-3 Boone County team Dec.17.

Dawn said offensive execu-tion in general is his main con-cern as his team prepares forthe All “A” Ninth Region tour-ney, which begins Jan. 20. Thetourney is at Dayton HighSchool and the championshipgame is Jan. 25. The winnergoes to Frankfort the followingweek for the state tourney.

Dawn said the team defensehas been strong, led by postplayersJakeSchulte,DrewMc-Donald and BenWeyer. SchultehassignedwithDivisionISouthCarolina Upstate. The back-court is led by junior Zach Pan-gallo and Walton-Verona trans-fers Grant Moeves and TannerMoeves. Seniors Mac Franzen,

Tyler Rawe and Josh Verkampadd key experience.

“If we get to the All ‘A’ state,we’ll play some good teamsdown there and playing in thatenvironment will help us,”Dawn said.

As far as big-game environ-ments, NCC is working thisweek to try to get the Feb. 14showdown with defendingNinth Region championHolmes moved to NorthernKentucky University’s basket-ball arena, the Bank of Ken-tucky Center. Dawn also hopesto finish a gamewithCovingtonCatholic that was suspended athalftime because of floor con-densation at Cov Cath Jan. 10.CCH led 32-27 at the half butDawndoesn’t know if the teamswill be able to fit it in.

ALEXANDRIA—Whilehehastaken two more losses than hedid all of last season, being un-defeated is not a big goal forSean Fausz. The CampbellCounty High School seniorwrestler plans to use those de-feats todrivehimtohisbiggestgoals for the rest of the season.

Fausz is a defending statechampion inKentucky, not los-ing a match along the way lastseason. This December, hetook two losses to Ohio wres-tlers in theGreaterMiamiVal-ley meet in Dayton, one of themost competitive annual tour-naments in the region.

“It’s just knowing what youcan improve on, and that thereis stillmore to improve on, thatyou are never going to bewhere you should be,” Fauszsaid.

Fausz has already achievedone big goal lately, when hesigned towrestle forDivision INorth Carolina State Univer-sity.Hehelped theCamels stayalive for akey teamgoal Jan. 8,when they qualified for the up-coming state duals tourna-ment.

Campbell is the defendingchampion of the state duals,which isnot anofficialKHSAAchampionship event but onethat does bring together manyof the top Kentucky teams inone spot. The tournament isFeb. 1. Campbell has a chanceto be seeded in the tourney be-cause it won the sectional.

“That’s why we like this,”said Campbell head coachMike Bankemper. “We wrestlein Ohio a lot. State duals givesus a chance to see all the topteams inKentucky.Wecan’t godown there if we don’t winthis.”

Campbellwon the sectional,going 3-0 in the tourney, de-feating Ryle 36-31, BooneCounty 57-15 and Simon Ken-ton 44-27. The title came downto the last match of the night,however, with Fausz winningby pin against Ryle at 132pounds. If Fausz had lost thematch, Campbell would havebeen in a three-way tie withRyle and SK.

“We had some real goodclutchwins, ones thatwe need-ed and that were really big,”Fausz said. “They changed thetide of the dual. A lot of guysstepped up.”

Campbell and Ryle split the14 weight classes, seven wins

apiece, with the Camels earn-ing five more points throughmore dominant wins. Matchwins are worth between threeand six points.

“We are young,” Bankem-per said. “That was nice to seethemstepup in thatclutchsitu-ation like we did, go for the ex-tra points, go for the pins.Those were huge.”

Other Camel winners wereBrady Wells (106), Brad Krebs(113), Bryan Spahr (126), EliMathews (182), Austin Myers(220) and Nick Sinclair (285).Myers is a two-time defendingstatechampion, and likeFausz,was undefeated last year. My-ers, also a nationally ranked

wrestler, has not tasted defeatthis season.

In the latestKentuckyWres-tling.com state rankings ofDec.17, Fausz is ranked first at138 andMyers first at 220. Sin-clair, Mathews, Spahr, Krebsand Wells are highly ranked,and the Camels were missingtwo other wrestlers who arelisted.

“We’ve going through someadversity but I still feel likewe’re one of the top teams andwe still have a chance to com-pete for the team title,” Fauszsaid. “Weonlyhavetwoseniors- one is hurt so we may get athird - andwehave two juniors.Just knowing that we’re thatyoung but we’re still compet-ing for a team title in everytournament we go to showshow talented we are.”

Fausz not only wants theteam to repeat as state dualschampion, but claim theKHSAA title in February,which would be the Camels’second team title in the pastthree seasons. Last year, theCamels finished second over-all after havinga chance towinfirst place heading into the in-dividual state championship fi-nals.

“It would be really cool toendmyhigh school career on ateam state title,” Fausz said.“We feel like we should be go-ing for a three-peat (after lastyear), and we want to make upfor it.”

BRIEFLY

I love finding parallelsbetween the men and womenof biblical times, and the situa-tions I find myself in today.Knowing that some of thegreatest Christians in historyhad their own long list ofstrongholds and shortcomingsgives me the courage to getback up and try again when Ifail.

Realizing that the personwhom God referred to as, “Aman after my own heart, whowill do all my will,” (Acts13:22) could add to his resume“adulterer” and “murderer,”paves the way for me to shinebright in my daily walk.

Realizing that the samePeter, who walked on water,was the same Peter who de-nied Christ three times, nearlydrowned when he took hiseyes off Christ, and is nowreferred to as the “Corner-stone” of the early Christianchurch, gives me hope andmotivation to keep trying.

What’s im-portant for usto realizewhen we lookat the greatmen and wom-en of the bibleis not whatphysical orintellectualskills and abil-ities they pos-sessed, but

what they knew God pos-sessed. The Psalms are lit-tered with evidence that Davidrealized apart from God hecould accomplish nothing, butwith God, “I will both lie downin peace, and sleep; for youalone, O Lord, make me dwellin safety.” (Psalm 4:8) Note:David wrote that very verseduring a time of great distress;he was being pursued by Saulwho wanted to kill him.

Now shouldn’t I be able tosleep peacefully instead ofworrying over a fewminor

bills? It was their completefaith in God that allowed themto accomplish such greatfeats. Simply their willingnessto say, “Wherever he leads, I’llgo.”

What’s also important is theimpact our obedience has.Take a look at John the Bap-tist. When approached by Je-sus to be baptized, the Bibletells us, “And John tried toprevent him saying, ‘I need tobe baptized by you, and youare coming to me?’” (Matthew3:14) Yet, we find that Johnwas obedient, and “When hehad been baptized, Jesus cameup immediately from the wa-ter; and behold, the heavenswere opened to Him, and hesaw the Spirit of God descend-ing like a dove and alightingupon him.” (Matthew 3:16)

I don’t know about you, butI would not have wanted tomiss that.

Obedience is crucial tosuccess. Without obedience,

David never could have slainGoliath, and without obe-dience, Peter surely wouldhave drowned. Howmanyblessings am I missing forfear that I’m not equipped forthe job? What about thosearound me? My loved ones andfriends; are they missing outon blessings, because I havesaid, “no not me” to God?

The next time God tugs onyour heart and says, “Thisone’s for you” remember, “Goddoesn’t call the equipped, Heequips the called.”

May you experience greatblessings this week, as youfind the courage to say, “Wher-ever you lead, I’ll go.”

PopeFrancis recently issuedan apostolic exhortation whichmany have interpreted as criti-cizing capitalism. I learned at ayoungagenevertostartafightIcan’t win; therefore, I don’twant to start a fight with thePope. I’ll choose instead tosearch for common ground.

First things first, Pope Fran-cis is right. The faith-basedprinciple of human imperfec-tionaffectscapitalism.Commu-nist, socialist and totalitariansystems have been led by ty-rants. At least in capitalism,businesses usually succeed bydeliveringusefulgoodsandser-vices which can, at times,change lives for the better.

The Pope warns against an“impersonal economy lacking atruly human purpose.” Butmany successful capitalist un-dertakings have a human pur-pose.HisHoliness lamented theabsence of “vigilance for thecommon good.” But many cap-italist ventures serve the com-mon good.

Pope Fran-cis didn’t spe-cifically com-ment on capi-talisminAmer-ica. If he haddone so, I’d liketo think hewould havesaid healthyAmerican capi-talism helpsfamilies byproviding jobs.

One great idea here can gener-ate thousands of jobs. It hap-pens all the time.

Capitalism helps provide foreducation and hope. Americansstrive for education and train-ing to attain valuable skills. Wedevelopandgrow.Onboth sidesof my family, capitalism andeducation lifted our parents outof poverty, which probably ex-plains why I get a bit defensive.

Capitalism helps provide forour government. Business own-ers pay taxes. People who workfor businesses pay taxes. Peo-

plewhobuythings incommercepay taxes. Without capitalism,government would have fewerresources to provide for thepublic good.

Capitalism helps provide forour churches and charities. Weknow that churches and charityserve the noblest of purposes,butmoneytooperate themmustcome from somewhere. We’veseen coffers diminish in hardtimes.

Capitalism helps us care forone another. In America, youngpeopleworkingpaySocialSecu-rity and Medicare taxes so thatolderAmericanscanhavean in-come and health care. Withoutcapitalism, these safeguardswould fail.

Capitalism can unify people.InAmerica,mostofusrespectabusiness owner on Main Streetwho saves money and risks ev-erythingonabusiness idea,pro-viding needed jobs, incomesand taxes. We see this everyday. We should choose to seebusiness owners as our neigh-

bors, not our enemies.Capitalism can be compati-

ble with faith. I represent busi-ness owners who frequentlypray for the well being of theiremployees and customers,striving to treat them right ev-ery day. Their brand of capital-ism involves life success whichstretches beyond self and be-yond an immediate dollar.

Capitalism, which simplymeans owning part or all of abusiness, can’t be all that bad.Maybe his Holiness meant tosay that economic and politicalsystems can only be asmoral asthe people who live and work inthem. I’mnot sureweneedapa-pal clarification, but given thebuzz on the subject, it wouldn’thurt to get one.

Detecting breast cancerearly – before symptoms begin

– can savelives. That’swhy it’s so im-portant forwomen to un-dergo regularbreast cancerscreenings aspart of a pre-ventive healthcare regimen.

The risk ofbreast cancerincreases withage, with 60 as

the average age for first breastcancer diagnosis in the UnitedStates.However,manyyoungerwomen are diagnosed withbreast cancer, and detectionsteps should begin in earlyadulthood.

Starting in their 20s, womenshould learn about the benefitsand limits of breast self-exami-nations. Performed correctly, aself-exam is a systematic, step-by-step method for detecting

changesinbreasttissue.Byper-forming self-exams regularly,women can become familiarwithhowtheirbreastsnormallylookand feel so that changesbe-comenoticeable.Womenshouldreport anychanges to their phy-sician immediately.

Most experts recommendthat woman in their 20s and 30salso receive a clinical breast ex-am at least once every threeyears. Performed by a medicalprofessional, these are an goodopportunity to learn how to con-duct a self-exam.

Physicians generally recom-mend that women begin havingannualmammograms at age 40.Women at higher risk – for ex-ample, those with a family his-tory of breast cancer – shouldconsider other screening testsas well. The American CancerSociety recommends that high-risk women have annual mam-mograms and along with anMRI beginning at age 30.

High-risk women includethose who:

» have the BRCA1or BRCA2genetic mutation;

» have a parent, brother, sis-ter or child with the BRCA1 orBRCA2 genetic mutation;

» have a lifetime risk ofbreast cancer of 20 to 25 per-cent, based on recognized risk-assessment tools;

» had radiation therapy ofthe chest between the ages of10and 30;

» have Li-Fraumeni syn-drome, Cowden syndrome orBannayan-Riley-Ruvalcabasyndrome, or who have a par-ent, brother, sister or child withone of these conditions.

Recently, beliefs about thevalue of certain screening pro-cedures and when they shouldbe done have come into ques-tion. In the face of contradicto-ry information, the best thing todo is consult with a health careprofessional whose counsel youtrust.

When cancer is detected

A positive diagnosis for can-cer presents women and theirdoctors with a number ofchoices for next steps. Thesecan include:

» surgery;» chemotherapy;» radiation therapy;» hormone therapy;» bone-directed therapy;» targeted therapy.For some patients, an addi-

tional option is a clinical trial.Clinical research concerningbreast cancer has resulted innew treatments and improvedoverall survival, and are care-fully designed tests of medi-cines and treatment options.Visit www.ohcare.com to viewsome available opportunities.

The good news is that 80 per-centofcancersurvivorswill en-joy the same life span as thosewho have never had breast can-cer. The key is to catch it earlyand stop it in its tracks.

Nancy and Bob Swart-zel never planned to be-come innkeepers, buttheirWillis Graves Bed&Breakfast Inn in Burling-ton has now gained na-tional acclaim.

BedandBreakfast.comrecently named the innone of the top 10 B&Bs inthe country for 2013.

“We had no idea wewere even being consid-ered,” Nancy Swartzelsaid. “We actually foundout because the presidentof our state associationsent a letter congratulat-ing us. Until that came, Ihadn’t even looked at theletter from Bedand-Breakfast.com that noti-fied us of the recogni-tion.”

BedandBreakfast.com

is the world’s largest di-rectory of its kind, with awebsite that includes

more than 200,000 cus-tomer reviews and100,000 property photos.

Its parent company, Ho-meAway Inc., representsmore than 475,000 paid

vacation rental home list-ings in 120 countries.

BedandBreakfast.comsends representativesfor an anonymous stay atinns that meet the crite-ria and becomemembersof its Diamond Collec-tion.

The top 10 list, whichdoes not rank the inns, iscompiled after compar-ing notes from those vis-its. The review for WillisGraves states:

“The Log Cabin Suitewhere we stayed wasamazing. From a scrump-tious breakfast, to a li-brary of DVDs fromwhich we could choose towatch a movie, our staywas fantastic. We’ll defi-nitely stay at WillisGraves Inn again.”

The Swartzels take adifferent approach than

some other bed-and-breakfast owners, andNancy believes that’s oneof the things that makethem stand out.

“Wedon’t haveabig ta-ble where everyone eatsbreakfast at the sametime,” Nancy Swartzelsaid. “Wewant our gueststo set their own schedule,so we have the small ta-bles and give them op-tions for when they wantbreakfast.”

The inn has about a 65percent annual occupan-cy rate and is busiest dur-ing the summer months.

Rates range from $110nightly for Catherine’sRoomin theWillisGravesHome Sunday throughThursday, to $235 pernight for the WilliamRouse Log Cabin Suite onthe weekends.

The Cincinnati Play-house in the Park’s Offthe Hill series for fam-ilies continues in Januarywith the world premiereof “Joan the Girl of Arc,”playing in three places inNorthern Kentucky with-in the next few weeks.

Recommended forages11andup, this inspir-ing play offers a new per-spective on the classicstoryof theyoungwomanwho helped save France.The adventure openswith Joan as a young girljust starting to examineher beliefs. As she beginstounderstandherself andthe world around her, shelearns to inspire and leadothers.

The play will be per-formed at:

» 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan.25, at Ft. Thomas/CarricoBranch of the CampbellCounty Library, 1000Highland Ave.;

» 6:30 p.m. Tuesday,Feb. 4, Boone County Li-brary, Burlington, 1786Burlington Pike; and

» 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7,at Circus Mojo, 326 ElmSt., Ludlow.

“Joan the Girl of Arc”will be directed by Play-house associate artist KJSanchez, who recently di-rected the world pre-miere of “Seven Spots onthe Sun” in the ThompsonShelterhouse Theatre.

“When I was a young

girl, Joan of Arc was oneof my first heroes,” San-chez said. “I grew up be-fore terrific books like‘The Hunger Games’ andhad no heroic figures myage.To top it off, Joanwasa girl, this young girl whochanged the course of thewar between France andEngland. That she was areal person, no less, wasincredibly appealing.Her’s is a story of cour-age – the courage to standup for what she believedin. When all the adults inher life doubted her, Joanheld to what she knew tobe true and changed his-tory with her courage.”

This adaptation iswritten by Darrah Cloud,who previously wrote“What’s Buggin’ Greg”

for Off the Hill in 2011.“I was drawn to the

writer because of herskills and passion for ourwork,” said Mark Lut-wak, education directorat the Playhouse. “Weagreed that the story ofJoan of Arc had a lot in itto speak to theyouthof to-day.”

Brrrr! Today is defi-nitely a soup day. Thetemperature in my herbgarden read 11 below

zero. I’mglad we’renot enter-taining thisweek sinceI havemyAmishwoodenclothesrack linedwithclothesdrying by

the wood stove and thattakes up a good amount ofroom. Not exactly theambience for havingpeople over, but all is stillgood. As the clothes dry,they add a bit of neededmoisture to the dry air.

Grandson Jack had histonsils and adenoids outover the holidays, so Itook over some soups andother favorite foods. Hewas able to eat a bowl ofthe chicken tortellinisoup recipe that I’m shar-ing today right away. Hisbrothers, Luke andWill,finished it off. It remind-ed me of how somethinglike soup can nourish andmake one feel special. Iwanted to share it withyou because it really iseasy and healthful andgoes together in minutes.

Rita’s feel-better15-minute chickentortellini soup

The broth is easilydigestible and the garlicis an antibiotic. Good forsomeone whose appetiteis compromised. Thechicken and tortellini

provide protein and somecarbs, and the freshgreens contain antioxi-dants.

1quart or so of low-sodiumchicken broth

1garlic clove, smashedCooked chicken – agenerous cup or so

1bag frozen cheesetortellini

Fresh greens – spinach,chard, whatever

Parmesan or Romanocheese

Put broth and garlicclove into pot. Bring toboil. Add chicken andtortellini to boiling broth.When tortellini floats totop, it’s done. Removegarlic. Stir in handfuls offresh greens. Ladle intobowls and sprinkle withcheese.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can leave thechicken out if you want amore broth-type soup.

Years ago I heardmost email received byconsumers is junk mailof little interest to therecipients.

That’s not only just astrue today, but now youhave to watch out forspam emails designed tosteal your identity.

The easiest way forthieves to get your per-sonal information is toinfect your computerwith a virus. The virusallows the thieves ac-cess to your informa-tion, including pass-words, which can evengive them access to yourbank accounts.

These spam emailshave been sent at anincreasing rate in recentmonth disguised as allsorts of things. For in-stance, one came from

the “AppleSecurityCenter”seekingaccountverifica-tion in-formation.But, acheck ofthe send-er’s email

address showed it didnot come from Apple soclicking on the link itsent could have infectedyour computer.

Marlene, in Cincin-nati, wrote me she re-ceived an email alleged-ly from Walmart, whichclaimed it was cancelingher delivery because ofproblems with her ad-dress. She was asked toclick on a link and sendher new address. She

wrote, “I believe theemail is a hoax and scamto get my personal infosince I haven’t orderedanything from Walmartrecently. I didn’t openthe ‘form’ they asked meto complete.”

Dan, of Green Town-ship, wrote me he re-ceived an email claimingto come from Costco andalso claiming there wasa delivery delay becauseof a problem with hisaddress. The wording ofthat email is almost ex-actly the same as the oneMarlene received claim-ing to be from Walmart.Again, Dan says he didnot click on the linkrequesting his informa-tion because he realizedit was a scam since hedoesn’t belong to Costco.

Emails are still being

sent, allegedly fromsoldiers overseas, seek-ing assistance movingvaluable items. Thelatest says, “Can I trustyou?” It asks for, “Assis-tance for safe keeping oftwo military trunk boxesvaluable that will be ofgreat benefit to both ofus.” Notice the gram-matical mistakes, whichare very common inthese scam emails, be-cause they often comefrom overseas whereEnglish is not the scam-mer’s first language.

Finally, here’s one ofthe most interestingspam emails I’ve seen ina long time. It says, “No-tice to Appear in Court.”It gives a case numberand says, “This is toadvise that you are re-quired to attend the

court of Washington inJanuary 8, 2014 for thehearing of your case.” Ihope you noticed thegrammatical errors. Itgoes on,“Please, kindlyprepare and bring thedocuments related tothis case on the datementioned above. Atten-dance is compulsory.The copy of the courtnotice is attached to thisletter, please, downloadand read it thoroughly.”

Once again, the gram-matical mistakes arenumerous in those sen-tences as well. From thelanguage I can tell thisalso came from overseas– and the email addresswith it shows it did notcome from any court-house. But it mightprompt someone to clickon the link provided to

see if they can figure outwhat’s going on. Thatwould be a mistake be-cause it most likely con-tains a virus to stealyour personal informa-tion.

Bottom line, be verycareful of emails con-taining links – eventhose that appear tocome from reputablecompanies and agencies.All too often they arejust scams hoping to getyou to click on their linkso they can steal fromyou.

Question: Can youstart new trees frompieces of the brancheslike you can put piecesof a house plant in waterand they will root? Iwould like to try it withsome of my oaks, specialhollies and other bushes.Is that possible? Should Iwait until spring?

Answer: Stems ofsome trees and shrubscan be rooted fairlyeasily, but other plantsare best grown fromseed or other methods.The oaks do not rooteasily from stem cut-tings, so the oaks areusually grown fromseed. Other plants thatdon’t root well fromcuttings are often repro-duced through graftingor budding techniques.On the other hand, someplants, like willows,have “pre-formed root

initials” ontheirstems,which rooteasily ifsimplystuck intowetground inearlyMarch.

Stemcuttings

are taken at differentstages of growth forrooting different plants.Some plants must berooted from leafy soft-wood cuttings, taken inthe spring or early sum-mer. Others may bepropagated from hard-wood cuttings, which aretaken in the winter. Hol-lies, junipers, hemlocks,false cypress (chamae-cyparis), yews (taxus),firs, pines and sprucescan be successfully

propagated from hard-wood cuttings takenduring the winter.

Here’s how to do it:Remove stem cut-

tings using a pruner.Cuttings 4 inches to 6inches long are appro-priate for most plants.Remove leaves or nee-dles from the bottom 1 to2 inches of the cuttings.Wound the base of thecutting with yourthumbnail or a pocketknife to scratch the barkto increase rooting. Dustthe base of the cuttingswith powdered rootinghormone (like Rootoneor Hormodin), or dipthem into a liquid root-ing hormone, then stickthem upright in a propa-gation medium such asmoist peat/perlite or apeat/sand mix. Then,insert the cuttings justdeep enough into thepropagation medium tohold them upright (usu-ally 1-2 inches).

Insert at least onenode (where leaves orneedles were attached)into the rooting medium.If cuttings are stuck toodeeply, the base may rot.After you insert cut-tings, water them tofirm the medium aroundthem. Keep them moistbut not wet. Providegood drainage. Withineight weeks, most plantswill start to root, butdon’t tug on them. Bepatient. New top growthwill start in the spring,and your new plant willbe off to a good start.

DEATHS

Continued from Page B6

With the cold temper-atures eating up our heat-ing budgets, it might betime to look at reducingthe energy in other partsof our houses. While heat-ing and cooling consumethe most energy in ourhomes, small changes inother parts of the housemay add up to savings.Because the kitchen hasseveral appliances, it is agreat place to start look-ing for energy savings.

Buy thermometers foryour refrigerator andfreezer. Set your refriger-ator temperature be-tween 36 and 39 degreesF. Lower wastes energyand higher puts food intothe temperature dangerzone where bacteriathrive. Set the freezer to

5 degreesF.

Foraccuratethermom-eter read-ings in therefriger-ator float arefriger-ator ther-mometerin a cov-

ered container of waterplaced in the center ofthe food compartment.For accurate readings inthe freezer, place thefood thermometer be-tween two frozen fooditems. Check the temper-atures after 24 hours.Periodically pull the re-

frigerator or freezeraway from the wall andvacuum the condensercoils to remove dust anddirt build-up.

Consider using old-fashioned ice cube traysinstead of automaticicemakers. The Depart-ment of Energy estimatesicemakers and through-the-door ice dispensersincrease the energy useof the appliance by 14 to20 percent. Considerusing a smaller applianceinstead of your regularoven. Toaster ovens,microwaves, slow cook-ers, and electric skilletsuse less energy than aregular oven or stove.

Choose the smallest

pan to get the job doneand size it to the burner.Use lids when possible.Pots and pans with flatbottoms and sides aremore energy efficient asthey allow for better heattransfer.

If your stove has re-flector pans, keep themclean so heat will radiatemore efficiently. If youhave a smooth or ceramiccooktop, keep the surfaceof the heating elementsclean to allow for effi-cient heat transfer.
